It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.

0:00:020:00:04

That's cracking.

0:00:040:00:05

With £200 each...

0:00:050:00:07

Wonderful.

0:00:070:00:08

..a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:080:00:11

-That's exactly what I'm talking about.

-I'm all of a shiver!

0:00:110:00:13

The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.

0:00:130:00:17

-No brainer.

-Going, going, gone.

0:00:170:00:20

There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.

0:00:200:00:23

So, will it be the high road to glory...

0:00:230:00:25

-Push!

-..or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:250:00:28

How awfully, awfully nice.

0:00:280:00:29

This is Antiques Road Trip!

0:00:290:00:31

Yeah!

0:00:340:00:35

Today, we witness the blossoming of a brand-new road trip

0:00:360:00:39

relationship for two antiquos.

0:00:390:00:42

Anita Manning and Raj Bisram.

0:00:420:00:45

Raj, the sun is shining, the sky is blue.

0:00:450:00:49

-Are you ready for a new adventure?

-I certainly am.

0:00:500:00:53

Good-oh.

0:00:530:00:55

Anita is the road trip queen bee, with a passion for Scottish art

0:00:550:00:59

and, of course, jewellery.

0:00:590:01:00

Who could resist rummaging through lot there?

0:01:000:01:05

Raj is a relative Road Trip newbie,

0:01:050:01:07

but as a former army fitness instructer and champion skier,

0:01:070:01:11

he takes the competition very seriously.

0:01:110:01:14

We're moving in for the kill now.

0:01:140:01:17

Blimey. They'll be cruising the country

0:01:170:01:19

in this rather snazzy 1978 Triumph Spitfire.

0:01:190:01:23

Tell me what you think about the car?

0:01:230:01:25

A friend of mine had cars like this,

0:01:250:01:27

but what I don't remember is how small they are inside.

0:01:270:01:31

Maybe you're bigger now, Raj?

0:01:310:01:33

Yeah, well, you weren't going to mention that. OK?

0:01:330:01:37

Ha! Anita and Raj begin their journey with £200 each.

0:01:370:01:41

Departing from Wisbech in Cambridgeshire,

0:01:410:01:44

they'll explore Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex,

0:01:440:01:46

then head south, to Kent, Surrey and Sussex,

0:01:460:01:49

before finishing at their final auction, in Bolton, Lancashire.

0:01:490:01:52

Phew. But the very first calling point

0:01:520:01:56

is at Wisbech in Cambridgeshire,

0:01:560:01:58

with their opening auction taking them to Beeston in Norfolk.

0:01:580:02:02

-Have you been to Norfolk before?

-I've been to Norfolk before

0:02:020:02:05

and I love, I absolutely love, East Anglia.

0:02:050:02:09

I love the flatness of it, because, for me, it's so unusual.

0:02:090:02:14

One thing I do know is that they have this saying in Norfolk,

0:02:140:02:19

when you want to have a chat, they say, "let's have a mardle".

0:02:190:02:22

-A mardle?

-A mardle.

0:02:220:02:24

So, let's have a mardle!

0:02:240:02:26

Save your margling for Norfolk,

0:02:280:02:30

as the first stop today is in the capital of the Fens,

0:02:300:02:34

Wisbech in Cambridgeshire.

0:02:340:02:35

A charming market town graced with gorgeous Georgian architecture.

0:02:350:02:40

Well, well, well, here we are.

0:02:400:02:43

You've got a pocket full of money.

0:02:430:02:45

-Wish me luck, Anita.

-Good luck, darling.

0:02:450:02:47

-OK. Oh, lovely!

-See you later.

0:02:470:02:50

Granny's Cupboard Antiques

0:02:500:02:52

has been running for 30 years and is owned by Richard.

0:02:520:02:55

-Hello, there.

-Hello.

-Hi, Richard, isn't it?

0:02:570:03:00

-Hi, I'm Raj.

-Nice to meet you.

0:03:000:03:02

It's so lovely to come into a shop full of antiques, proper antiques!

0:03:020:03:06

Richard specialises in small antiques,

0:03:070:03:09

sourcing them from walk-in customers,

0:03:090:03:11

house clearances and from his travels.

0:03:110:03:13

That's an unusual pattern, Richard, for Doulton?

0:03:160:03:19

I haven't seen...I don't think I've seen this pattern before.

0:03:190:03:22

No, it's not one I've come across, either.

0:03:220:03:24

-Is it just the one or is there a pair?

-I think it's a single.

-Yeah.

0:03:240:03:27

Well, I mean, I would think it would definitely have been made as a pair,

0:03:270:03:30

but it's still very, very unusual.

0:03:300:03:33

Royal Doulton have produced countless collections

0:03:330:03:36

over its 200-year reign,

0:03:360:03:38

but one of a pair will not be as profitable as the two.

0:03:380:03:42

Not a problem, though, because there's plenty on offer in here.

0:03:420:03:44

Have you got any bits of jewellery, Richard?

0:03:440:03:46

There's a few bits I've actually just been pricing up.

0:03:460:03:49

That's a nice silver bit of Art Nouveau, enamelled.

0:03:490:03:52

-Quite like that.

-Yeah.

-That's a nice piece of jewellery, isn't it?

0:03:520:03:55

This is a really lovely piece of Art Nouveau jewellery.

0:03:550:03:58

It's a really nice little brooch,

0:03:580:04:00

it's got mother of pearl in it and I really like the design.

0:04:000:04:04

There's £28 on the ticket.

0:04:040:04:06

What could you do that for, Richard, please?

0:04:060:04:08

-24.

-24.

0:04:080:04:10

Could I get you down to a nice round 20?

0:04:100:04:14

-No.

-Ha!

0:04:140:04:16

No? Fair enough. Can we split the difference at 22?

0:04:160:04:18

-We can.

-We have a deal.

0:04:180:04:20

22. I've got my first item on this trip.

0:04:200:04:24

Speaking of jewellery, the doyenne of all things shiny and silver

0:04:240:04:28

is whizzing around Cambridgeshire in the Spitfire, while we speak.

0:04:280:04:31

Raj is a lovely guy

0:04:320:04:34

and I wonder what his tactics are going to be?

0:04:340:04:37

Is he going to spend big

0:04:370:04:39

or is he going to be careful at the beginning?

0:04:390:04:42

Well, I suppose it all depends

0:04:420:04:45

on what's there in front of you in the shop.

0:04:450:04:49

But it seems Raj's tactic is doing as Anita does.

0:04:510:04:56

1930s ladies purse.

0:04:560:04:58

It's in excellent condition.

0:04:580:05:00

These actually have become quite collectable these days.

0:05:000:05:04

If I can get that at the right price,

0:05:040:05:06

that's definitely a little buy.

0:05:060:05:07

Anita would be very pleased with me.

0:05:070:05:10

With no price on the label, it's back to Richard.

0:05:100:05:13

-It's quite nice condition.

-It's very good condition, isn't it?

0:05:130:05:16

-Yeah.

-Very, very cheap.

0:05:160:05:19

-You can't argue that price.

-No, I can't, no.

0:05:190:05:21

-I'm not even going to ask for any discount.

-No!

0:05:210:05:24

-What could it be?

-It could be a tenner.

0:05:250:05:28

-You can't go wrong with that.

-It's a sale.

0:05:280:05:31

Raj has found himself an Art Nouveau brooch and an early 20th century

0:05:310:05:35

ladies' purse for £32.

0:05:350:05:38

Thank you very much for being patient with me

0:05:380:05:40

-and let's hope I do well on these items.

-Let's hope so.

0:05:400:05:43

If not, I'll be back.

0:05:430:05:44

Still in Wisbech,

0:05:470:05:48

Anita's here to find out about one of Britain's forgotten heroes,

0:05:480:05:51

whose pioneering work transformed human rights

0:05:510:05:54

across the world for good.

0:05:540:05:56

Wisbech and Fenland Museum chairman

0:05:560:05:59

Richard Barnwell is here to tell Anita more.

0:05:590:06:03

-Hello, Richard.

-Anita, welcome.

0:06:030:06:05

It's wonderful to be in Wisbech,

0:06:050:06:08

in front of this magnificent memorial to Thomas Clarkson,

0:06:080:06:12

the great slave abolitionist.

0:06:120:06:15

In the 18th century, Britain was embroiled in the transatlantic trade

0:06:150:06:19

triangle, exchanging goods for slaves from Africa,

0:06:190:06:22

who were then shipped to America

0:06:220:06:24

and traded for produce to be brought back home.

0:06:240:06:27

Britain's economy prospered,

0:06:270:06:29

as millions died and others endured barbaric conditions.

0:06:290:06:34

Very few were fully aware of the true cost of the slave trade,

0:06:340:06:38

so local lad Thomas Clarkson

0:06:380:06:40

vowed to spread the message and put an end to this inhumanity.

0:06:400:06:44

Thomas went to St John's College, Cambridge, in the 1780s.

0:06:440:06:48

And the topic was, for a prize essay,

0:06:480:06:50

"Is It Lawful To Make A Slave Of Others Against Their Will?2

0:06:500:06:55

And Thomas won this prize essay

0:06:550:06:58

and he decided there and then to make it his life's work

0:06:580:07:03

to abolish slavery.

0:07:030:07:04

So, tell me, what was the scale of the slave trade at that time?

0:07:040:07:09

Various contemporary estimates say that in the 18th century there was

0:07:090:07:12

something like three million Africans

0:07:120:07:15

were transported from Africa to the West Indies,

0:07:150:07:18

so it was an enormous problem.

0:07:180:07:21

Overall, it is estimated that up to 30 million Africans were forced into

0:07:210:07:25

slavery across the American continent

0:07:250:07:27

between the 15th and 19th centuries.

0:07:270:07:31

Spurred on by what he discovered in 1787,

0:07:310:07:34

Clarkson began touring the country,

0:07:340:07:36

gathering more evidence to take to his newly-established committee

0:07:360:07:41

to abolish the slave trade.

0:07:410:07:43

All the work and all the information that was collated was collected

0:07:430:07:48

by Thomas, riding round the countryside.

0:07:480:07:50

It's said he rode over 35,000 miles on horseback.

0:07:500:07:54

Who was he talking to, Richard,

0:07:540:07:56

to get all this information together?

0:07:560:07:58

He was visiting the great slaving ports at the time,

0:07:580:08:02

which would be Bristol, Liverpool and London.

0:08:020:08:05

And he was talking to the seamen

0:08:050:08:07

about their experiences on the ships.

0:08:070:08:10

Clarkson amassed over 20,000 sailors' testimonies

0:08:100:08:14

to back up his cause.

0:08:140:08:15

He carried a chest everywhere he went, collecting interesting,

0:08:150:08:18

useful and, most crucially, valuable goods

0:08:180:08:21

from Africa, to show that Britain could trade in products,

0:08:210:08:25

rather than people.

0:08:250:08:26

This chest, that helped change history,

0:08:260:08:29

is now on proud display in the museum.

0:08:290:08:32

So, Anita, here we have the raw cotton here,

0:08:320:08:35

the loom and, then, the thread,

0:08:350:08:37

which the Africans were able to make fine textiles.

0:08:370:08:41

We have, obviously, ivory here,

0:08:410:08:43

and probably, most important, were the spices,

0:08:430:08:46

which were, of course, unknown in England, at that time.

0:08:460:08:49

Yeah. What this did was humanise

0:08:490:08:52

the slaves who were being used.

0:08:520:08:55

Absolutely.

0:08:550:08:56

Clarkson's crusade became the first mass public protest campaign

0:08:560:09:01

in history. 20 years after he began,

0:09:010:09:03

with the help of influential MP, William Wilberforce,

0:09:030:09:07

the slave trade was abolished in the British Empire.

0:09:070:09:10

It was the first of many acts around the world,

0:09:100:09:13

and a huge victory for the movement.

0:09:130:09:16

So what was Thomas Clarkson's legacy?

0:09:160:09:19

Well, I think perhaps his most important legacy

0:09:190:09:22

is that the abolition movement,

0:09:220:09:24

at the end of the 18th century amd into the 19th century,

0:09:240:09:27

gave rise, in later generations,

0:09:270:09:30

to the formation of the human rights movement,

0:09:300:09:33

and, of course, that is so important in our world still today,

0:09:330:09:37

to recognise that we have a responsibility

0:09:370:09:41

towards other nations and newer generations,

0:09:410:09:45

as much as recognising what was done in the past.

0:09:450:09:48

Richard, this has been a most amazing story.

0:09:480:09:53

-So thank you so much...

-Thank you for coming.

0:09:530:09:55

-..for sharing it with me.

-A great pleasure.

0:09:550:09:57

Thomas Clarkson died in 1846,

0:09:590:10:01

but this Wisbech man should forever

0:10:010:10:03

be celebrated for his tremendous triumph for human rights,

0:10:030:10:07

in one of the most significant achievements in world history.

0:10:070:10:10

Raj, meanwhile, has made his way south of Wisbech, to Littleport,

0:10:130:10:17

just outside Ely, which lies on the River Great Ouse.

0:10:170:10:21

Raj is here to check out a relatively-new antiques haven,

0:10:220:10:25

run by Andrew. Hi, Andrew.

0:10:250:10:28

-Hello, Andrew.

-Hello, Raj.

0:10:280:10:30

The Salvage And Trading Post

0:10:320:10:34

has a plethora of antique collectable and vintage treats

0:10:340:10:37

for Raj to check out.

0:10:370:10:39

Well, this is a very, very unusual piece.

0:10:420:10:45

It's an artificial horizon gadget.

0:10:450:10:49

There are lots of militaria collectors all over the world.

0:10:490:10:52

It's one of the biggest growing markets that there is.

0:10:520:10:55

But what makes it valuable, is it's off a Spitfire.

0:10:550:10:58

Things like that would fetch really good money.

0:10:580:11:02

But it's proving it's off a Spitfire.

0:11:020:11:03

And, to be honest, I have no idea.

0:11:030:11:06

It says: "Do not jar, handle like eggs."

0:11:060:11:09

Lovely bit of kit.

0:11:100:11:12

Collectors can be picky about provenance and, without proof,

0:11:120:11:15

he's probably right to give it a miss.

0:11:150:11:17

Here we have a 19th-Century copper warming pan.

0:11:210:11:24

But these are something that have gone down in value

0:11:240:11:27

over the last ten years, dramatically.

0:11:270:11:29

These all used to fetch between £50 and £100.

0:11:290:11:34

This one is only £14.

0:11:340:11:37

It's unbelievable.

0:11:370:11:40

Gosh! We're moving in for the kill now.

0:11:400:11:43

Look out!

0:11:430:11:44

Andrew. I wonder, could I have a look at some of the things

0:11:450:11:49

in your cabinet, please?

0:11:490:11:51

Is there anything in particular, Raj?

0:11:510:11:53

I'd like to see the butter knife.

0:11:530:11:55

Cheese scoop, as you call it.

0:11:560:11:58

That's an unusual thing.

0:11:580:12:00

It is. Unfortunately, the box is damaged on that,

0:12:000:12:03

but, as you rightly say, the scoop is an unusual one.

0:12:030:12:05

This is like a butter knife, but with a little horn handle.

0:12:050:12:09

Yes. Yes, I think the collar is actually silver hallmarked,

0:12:090:12:13

-and it's "Sheffield, 1906."

-Hmm.

0:12:130:12:15

Are the rest of them hallmarked, as well?

0:12:160:12:18

-No, I believe the others are plate.

-Yeah.

0:12:180:12:22

What could you do this for?

0:12:220:12:24

Well, the ticket price is 38.

0:12:240:12:26

I'm prepared to say £30?

0:12:270:12:29

It's a bit too tight for me.

0:12:290:12:31

-I'll take 25.

-OK.

0:12:330:12:35

Well, let me put it there for the moment, OK, if I can?

0:12:350:12:37

And just think about that.

0:12:370:12:39

Andrew thinks he's got something else to Raj's taste.

0:12:390:12:42

This is the 101st edition of the Streeter & Co.

0:12:420:12:46

As I understand it, it's actually a gold leaf illustration,

0:12:460:12:50

which is...

0:12:500:12:53

-..quite a rare...

-It's a lovely little book.

0:12:530:12:56

This was originally a shop in London, in Bond Street.

0:12:560:12:59

And they sold really good quality jewellery

0:12:590:13:03

and small artefacts and this is basically their catalogue.

0:13:030:13:07

The illustrations are gorgeous. You'd absolutely love it.

0:13:070:13:10

How much have you got on this?

0:13:100:13:12

165.

0:13:120:13:14

Hmm.

0:13:140:13:16

Yeah, if I were to buy these two items...

0:13:160:13:18

If I were to say £60 for the two.

0:13:190:13:22

£60 for two?

0:13:220:13:24

I'm not going to argue with you at all, Andrew.

0:13:240:13:26

-I'm going to shake your hand.

-Thank you, Raj.

-60? Fantastic.

0:13:260:13:29

Very well done.

0:13:290:13:30

So, that's two cracking gems for Raj. A 1940s butter knife,

0:13:300:13:33

cheese slice and pickle fork set

0:13:330:13:35

and a rather unusual jewellers' gems' book,

0:13:350:13:39

both for £30 each.

0:13:390:13:41

20, 30, 40, 50, 60.

0:13:410:13:43

Thank you, Raj. I wish you all the luck.

0:13:430:13:45

Thank you very much, indeed.

0:13:450:13:48

Back to Anita now, and she's tootled to Tottenhill, near King's Lynn,

0:13:480:13:52

for her first shop of the trip, run by Jane.

0:13:520:13:55

-Hi.

-Hello.

-I'm Anita.

0:13:570:14:00

Hello, Anita, so pleased that you're here.

0:14:000:14:02

And it's lovely, lovely, lovely to be here.

0:14:020:14:04

-I look around and everything looks beautiful.

-Thank you.

0:14:040:14:08

The Antiques Emporium has a rather fine collection of goods,

0:14:080:14:11

but, as usual, the cabinets are calling Anita.

0:14:110:14:14

These pieces of agate, or pebbles,

0:14:150:14:19

are found in the streams and beaches of Scotland.

0:14:190:14:25

They were collected and taken down to the New Town in Edinburgh

0:14:250:14:29

and polished and made into these lovely brooches and bracelets.

0:14:290:14:35

And this, it's a little pillbox.

0:14:350:14:38

Isn't that bonnie? Look at this striped agate here.

0:14:380:14:42

The colours are wonderful.

0:14:420:14:44

I was hoping that it might be gold, but it's not gold.

0:14:440:14:48

This probably dates from the late 19th, early 20th century.

0:14:490:14:54

But it's still functional in our modern days today.

0:14:540:14:59

One to consider?

0:15:010:15:02

And what we have here is a little miniature chamber candlestick.

0:15:050:15:11

It's pretty.

0:15:110:15:12

The handle, the base, the tub here,

0:15:120:15:17

all have a very nice detail.

0:15:170:15:20

Any more?

0:15:200:15:21

Now, this chain here is really what we will call, perhaps,

0:15:230:15:28

a fancy link chain.

0:15:280:15:30

But it's the type of thing that...

0:15:300:15:33

a Victorian gentleman would wear.

0:15:330:15:36

This would go through his buttonhole here

0:15:360:15:39

and this very nice fob here, with the citrine glass stone,

0:15:390:15:45

would sit outside.

0:15:450:15:47

I really like this one because it's quite unusual.

0:15:470:15:50

And I would like to have a go at it.

0:15:500:15:53

This chain is known as an Albert, named after Prince Albert,

0:15:530:15:57

who wore this style of watch chain in the early 19th century.

0:15:570:16:01

Anita has a few options, so it's time to find Jane.

0:16:010:16:05

Jane, I've found three things which I liked.

0:16:050:16:09

-OK.

-But there's one thing that has intrigued me.

0:16:090:16:12

-Right.

-And it's this thing here.

0:16:120:16:15

-Right.

-I believe that it is something

0:16:180:16:21

that they used to use for spooning out and stirring pig swill.

0:16:210:16:26

Pig swill? Right. Not porridge?

0:16:260:16:30

Or porridge!

0:16:300:16:31

-I'm going to call it a porridge stirrer.

-OK.

0:16:320:16:35

-How much is that?

-I think we could do £20 on that.

0:16:350:16:39

Could you do those...

0:16:440:16:46

The three, the porridge stirrer and the two wee...

0:16:460:16:51

yellow metal things for 40 quid?

0:16:510:16:54

Both the pillbox and the Albert chain are marked up at £30 each.

0:16:540:16:59

Oh, you're pushing me there, Anita!

0:16:590:17:01

Well, just say "no" and throw me out of the door.

0:17:010:17:04

Could we say...50?

0:17:070:17:11

£50 for the three things?

0:17:110:17:13

-Yeah.

-Put it there.

0:17:130:17:14

Thank you.

0:17:140:17:16

And Anita's bagged herself a Victorian Albert,

0:17:160:17:20

or watch chain, for £20,

0:17:200:17:21

an agate pillbox for 25

0:17:210:17:23

and a four-foot rustic wooden spoon for £5.

0:17:230:17:27

-I'll place them in there really carefully.

-Hi-ho, hi-ho...

0:17:270:17:30

..it's off to auction I go.

0:17:320:17:34

Good luck, Anita!

0:17:340:17:35

Such a stirrer. But, for now, it's home to bed, you two.

0:17:360:17:40

Nighty-night.

0:17:400:17:41

It's a new day and our experts are back, tearing around

0:17:440:17:48

in the Triumph Spitfire.

0:17:480:17:49

There's a bit of a rattling noise here.

0:17:520:17:55

-There is, to be honest.

-Is that your old bones?

0:17:550:17:57

It's either my old bones or it's this car.

0:17:570:18:00

I'm a bit worried about it.

0:18:000:18:02

Either way, I'd be worried.

0:18:020:18:04

Yesterday, Raj managed to bag himself an Art Nouveau brooch,

0:18:050:18:08

a ladies' purse, a butter knife,

0:18:080:18:10

cheese slice and pickle fork set and a rare jeweller's book for £92,

0:18:100:18:15

leaving him £108 to play with.

0:18:150:18:18

I love these two things.

0:18:190:18:21

Anita's spent a quarter of the budget on an Albert,

0:18:220:18:25

or watch chain...

0:18:250:18:26

..an agate pillbox and a four-foot wooden spoon,

0:18:280:18:32

arming her with £150 to spend today.

0:18:320:18:35

Ah, you've got to take a chance every now and again, haven't you?

0:18:350:18:38

So, how are they getting on?

0:18:380:18:40

I'm thoroughly enjoying myself, so far. You're fantastic company,

0:18:400:18:43

-I have to say.

-Oh...

-You really are.

0:18:430:18:46

So far, it's been fantastic.

0:18:460:18:48

Oh, bless.

0:18:480:18:49

With the auction in Beeston in sight,

0:18:490:18:51

this perky pair must first head to the next destination,

0:18:510:18:55

Fakenham in Norfolk.

0:18:550:18:56

Do you like the wind in your hair, Raj?

0:18:560:18:58

I...

0:18:580:19:00

I love the wind in my hair.

0:19:000:19:03

Hey, a bit below the belt, Anita!

0:19:030:19:06

The historic market town of Fakenham

0:19:060:19:07

lies on the River Wensum

0:19:070:19:10

and grew in the 19th century, due to its expanding printing industry.

0:19:100:19:14

Anita's here to call at Fakenham Antiques And Collectables,

0:19:140:19:18

run by Sandy. Look out.

0:19:180:19:19

-Good morning, Anita.

-Hi.

-How are you?

0:19:190:19:22

The business has been running for 45 years.

0:19:220:19:25

Straight to the glass cabinets this time.

0:19:310:19:33

There's a surprise.

0:19:330:19:34

And this time, it's colour that's pulling my eye.

0:19:340:19:38

These are 1930s napkin rings.

0:19:400:19:44

They're made of Bakelite.

0:19:440:19:46

They do have that vintage look

0:19:460:19:49

that young people are looking for today.

0:19:490:19:53

Now, this is a set of six here and I quite like them.

0:19:530:19:58

They're priced at £28.

0:19:580:20:01

It's a wee bit dear to sell at auction,

0:20:010:20:03

but I may be able to do a deal with Sandy on that.

0:20:030:20:08

But Anita's not ready to commit just yet - oh, no.

0:20:080:20:11

Colourful and beautiful ceramics are irresistible.

0:20:150:20:19

This vase is made by Moorcroft.

0:20:190:20:23

This one was made in 2007.

0:20:230:20:26

This is the decorator's design,

0:20:270:20:30

Emma Bossons, so, although it's not an old one,

0:20:300:20:35

it is an antique of the future.

0:20:350:20:38

This is called tube lining.

0:20:380:20:39

It's like the icing on a cake.

0:20:390:20:42

Now, this is priced at...

0:20:420:20:44

..£320.

0:20:460:20:48

That's a wee bit too steep for my budget, at the moment,

0:20:480:20:52

but that's a lot cheaper

0:20:520:20:54

than you would buy it, if you were buying it new

0:20:540:20:58

and it possibly could be an investment for the future.

0:20:580:21:02

Vases like this can retail at upwards of £400,

0:21:040:21:08

but Anita's still got her eye on those napkin rings.

0:21:080:21:11

I like these, I think they're quite stylish.

0:21:140:21:16

-They're pretty, aren't they?

-Yes.

0:21:160:21:19

-I think that this is perhaps been part of a bigger set...

-Set, yeah.

0:21:190:21:23

..because I would have liked more variety in the colours,

0:21:230:21:27

because we've got three green ones there.

0:21:270:21:30

I could do them for 18.

0:21:300:21:32

-Could we do them for 18?

-Yeah.

-Let's go for it.

0:21:320:21:35

So, that's £18 for the 1930s Bakelite napkin rings.

0:21:350:21:39

Straight in her pocket.

0:21:390:21:40

-It's been lovely being here.

-Lovely having you, Anita.

0:21:400:21:43

-Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye now.

0:21:430:21:46

Meanwhile, Raj is travelling ten miles north,

0:21:460:21:48

towards the attractive town of Wells-next-the-Sea,

0:21:480:21:52

so-called due to its historic proximity to fresh springs.

0:21:520:21:56

Get it?

0:21:560:21:57

Landscape's very, very flat.

0:21:570:21:59

It's a little bit like Kent, where I'm from,

0:22:000:22:03

but this is obviously much flatter.

0:22:030:22:05

Raj is heading to a magnificent stately home, to learn about

0:22:060:22:09

an agricultural pioneer

0:22:090:22:11

whose ground-breaking techniques helped form the future

0:22:110:22:14

of Britain's farming industry.

0:22:140:22:16

Raj is here to meet Holkham Hall's manager, Sharon Cheshire.

0:22:160:22:21

-Hello, Raj.

-Hi, Sharon.

0:22:210:22:23

What a fantastic place!

0:22:230:22:25

It's quite impressive, isn't it?

0:22:250:22:26

Soon after Holkham was built,

0:22:260:22:28

the population soared and demand for food was growing,

0:22:280:22:31

calling for what some say was an agricultural revolution.

0:22:310:22:34

This neo-classical mansion

0:22:340:22:36

was at the heart of this innovative agricultural transformation.

0:22:360:22:41

Wow. What an amazing portrait of the man.

0:22:410:22:44

Done by Gainsborough, as well.

0:22:450:22:47

Yeah. Thomas William Cook, Cook of Norfolk.

0:22:470:22:50

The man who took over Holkham Hall.

0:22:500:22:52

He inherited it at the end of the 17th century.

0:22:520:22:56

It was about 30,000 acres at that time

0:22:560:22:59

and it was already a well-running and well-developed estate,

0:22:590:23:04

but because the things were being planted year after year,

0:23:040:23:08

the crops were starting to deteriorate.

0:23:080:23:10

So he knew that, to take the estate forward,

0:23:100:23:13

he would have to look at new methods of developing the land.

0:23:130:23:16

A century earlier, British statesman Charles Townshend

0:23:160:23:20

developed a crop rotation system, whereby weeds, turnips,

0:23:200:23:24

barley and clover were cultivated in succession,

0:23:240:23:28

preventing soil exhaustion

0:23:280:23:30

and earning him the moniker, "Turnip Townsend".

0:23:300:23:33

Cook built on that idea and other revolutionary techniques,

0:23:340:23:39

such as cross-breeding animals, to improve quality and seed drilling,

0:23:390:23:43

introducing them to Holkham.

0:23:430:23:47

There was lots of tenant farmers on the estate

0:23:470:23:49

and each ran their own areas,

0:23:490:23:52

but he encouraged them to sign documents to say they would stick

0:23:520:23:55

with his plan, so that they would all work together.

0:23:550:23:58

And obviously, having a house like this, where you can have

0:23:580:24:01

amazing parties, bringing all those people in, does help.

0:24:010:24:04

Despite also working as an MP for Norfolk,

0:24:040:24:07

charismatic Cook invested time,

0:24:070:24:10

energy and money in expanding Holkham's farming and reputation.

0:24:100:24:13

This is a very elaborate trophy.

0:24:150:24:18

Beautiful engraving on it.

0:24:180:24:19

-Holkham Sheep Show.

-Yeah.

-Yeah. It would have been one of the trophies

0:24:190:24:24

given for the breeding of cattle.

0:24:240:24:26

Each year, Cook hosted three-day shearing events,

0:24:260:24:29

a forerunner of county shows.

0:24:290:24:31

Well, this is another first for me.

0:24:330:24:36

These events attract people from across the nation to share their

0:24:370:24:40

expertise, learn from others

0:24:400:24:42

and win prizes for the best animals on the show.

0:24:420:24:45

There was even a trophy for the fastest shearer.

0:24:450:24:48

Can I let you finish it off?

0:24:500:24:52

Probably for the best. Has it still got any legs?

0:24:520:24:54

I hope I wasn't too baa-d!

0:24:540:24:58

Oh, dear.

0:24:580:25:00

The care and passion Cook showed for agricultural development meant that,

0:25:000:25:04

after his death in 1842, his tenants funded a memorial in his honour.

0:25:040:25:09

Sharon, tell me about this amazing monument.

0:25:090:25:12

The monument is 120 feet high with various symbols and plaques going

0:25:130:25:18

around it, that basically tell a story of what he was involved in

0:25:180:25:22

throughout his life. Part of its represents his political career,

0:25:220:25:25

but it's mostly about what he achieved in agriculture.

0:25:250:25:29

From selective breeding in animals,

0:25:290:25:31

to improving crop rotation techniques,

0:25:310:25:34

over 170 years after Thomas William Cook's death,

0:25:340:25:39

his principles are still being used and the impact of his

0:25:390:25:42

ground-breaking achievements live on.

0:25:420:25:45

Back with Anita again, who's ventured inland to Holt,

0:25:480:25:51

The area suffered a great fire in the early 18th century,

0:25:510:25:54

forcing a major rebuilding work

0:25:540:25:56

and turning it into the stunning Georgian town we see today.

0:25:560:26:00

Anita is here to visit an old haunt, owned by Mandy.

0:26:000:26:04

-Ah, Mandy!

-Hello!

-It's lovely to be back again...

0:26:040:26:07

-Nice to see you again.

-..to your antiques centre.

0:26:070:26:11

Mandy's been at Shire Hall Lane Antiques Centre

0:26:110:26:14

for five years now, and as Anita's trod on these boards before,

0:26:140:26:19

she knows her way around.

0:26:190:26:20

Raj, how's your blood pressure?

0:26:200:26:23

Cheeky!

0:26:230:26:24

The centre has nine showrooms, home to 20 different dealers.

0:26:240:26:28

They specialise in period furniture,

0:26:280:26:30

but there are plenty of antiques and collectables to boot.

0:26:300:26:33

So Anita should be in heaven.

0:26:330:26:35

Wow!

0:26:360:26:38

It's a Concorde for kids!

0:26:380:26:41

Isn't this the most marvellous, unusual kids' car

0:26:410:26:46

that you could ever see?

0:26:460:26:48

£95 for that streamlined piece of machinery.

0:26:480:26:55

That's cracking.

0:26:560:26:57

Anita's already bought one big wooden lump on this lake,

0:26:570:27:00

so it's off to find something a little more Manning-esque.

0:27:000:27:03

I love figure groups. I love sculpture.

0:27:040:27:07

And I'm sort of drawn to this figure group here.

0:27:070:27:11

It's of, I would imagine, two sisters here

0:27:110:27:15

from maybe the '20s or the '30s,

0:27:150:27:17

and they've got that characteristic short bobbed hair.

0:27:170:27:22

It's made of plaster.

0:27:220:27:23

So it's not a fine thing, but it has this lovely,

0:27:250:27:29

lovely terracotta colour here,

0:27:290:27:32

which I find very appealing.

0:27:320:27:34

If we look at it, we've got a wee bit of damage there,

0:27:360:27:40

a little foot has been off.

0:27:410:27:42

And there's a bit of damage on the toe there.

0:27:420:27:47

It's only £28.

0:27:470:27:49

Oh, Mandy!

0:27:490:27:51

Yes?

0:27:520:27:53

Mandy, I've been drawn to this little figure group here.

0:27:530:27:57

OK.

0:27:570:27:59

It reminds me of me and my sister,

0:27:590:28:03

and we had both these bob haircuts when we were young.

0:28:030:28:06

Are you able to do anything about the price?

0:28:060:28:10

-How does 22 sound?

-22?

-Yes.

0:28:100:28:12

Mm-hm. Could it be bought at 20?

0:28:120:28:15

-Go on, you've twisted my arm.

-OK, that's great.

-Is that all right?

0:28:160:28:18

-Thank you very, very much.

-No problem.

0:28:180:28:21

So that's an even 20 for a terracotta figure group

0:28:210:28:23

of two sisters, without a toe.

0:28:230:28:26

-Thank you again.

-Thanks, bye-bye.

0:28:260:28:29

Now, it's back to Raj again,

0:28:290:28:30

who's joined Anita in Holt

0:28:300:28:32

to check out Mews Antiques Emporium, run by Andrew.

0:28:320:28:35

-Hello, there.

-Hello, Raj.

-Andrew, isn't it?

0:28:350:28:38

-Yes.

-Nice to meet you.

-And you.

0:28:380:28:41

There's lots of rooms here, I think.

0:28:410:28:43

Yes, you're very welcome. There's eight rooms upstairs.

0:28:430:28:46

Spread over two floors,

0:28:460:28:47

this antiques collectables and vintage store has

0:28:470:28:49

lots of nooks and crannies for Raj to explore. Going down?

0:28:490:28:54

Well, I've got about £100 left.

0:28:540:28:56

And I really want to make a good profit.

0:28:560:28:59

I'm happy to spend it all, but I've got to find the right thing.

0:28:590:29:03

Go on, then, do it!

0:29:030:29:04

Here's a lovely old tennis racket.

0:29:130:29:17

The ones that, really, you should be looking for are the fish tail ones.

0:29:170:29:21

The handle is just like a fish tail,

0:29:210:29:23

and those are really highly collectable.

0:29:230:29:25

And continuing his sporting theme...

0:29:250:29:28

Here we have a nice old golf club as well.

0:29:290:29:33

And this is one of the collectable ones,

0:29:330:29:35

because the Scottish early makers are the really collectable ones.

0:29:350:29:39

A nice old hickory-shafted iron.

0:29:390:29:42

But like Anita, Raj is drifting towards those cabinets again!

0:29:420:29:46

-Andrew.

-Yes? I wonder, is it possible I could have a look

0:29:470:29:50

-at that silver picture frame there?

-Yes, of course.

0:29:500:29:53

-A nice frame.

-It is a lovely, lovely frame, but

0:29:530:29:56

-the silver...

-It's such a shame...

-..is missing, because that is a beautiful frame.

0:29:560:29:59

In perfect condition, a frame like this could make upwards of £100.

0:29:590:30:04

This damaged frame, though, has a ticket price of £49.

0:30:040:30:08

But Raj wants Andrew to see if the dealer can do any better.

0:30:080:30:11

Nice tulips.

0:30:110:30:12

Your silver frame, which has got a small amount of damage on

0:30:120:30:15

the right bottom there,

0:30:150:30:17

the cost is £49.

0:30:180:30:20

What's the best we can do on that one?

0:30:200:30:22

OK. Yeah, I understand. Thank you very much.

0:30:220:30:25

Time to break the news to Raj.

0:30:250:30:26

-What did he manage to say?

-Well, 35.

0:30:260:30:29

Is that the very best?

0:30:290:30:30

Well, the very, very best would be 30.

0:30:320:30:34

30? I'm going to shake your hand.

0:30:340:30:36

30, we have a deal.

0:30:360:30:38

So that's £30 for the 1920s silver photo frame.

0:30:380:30:42

-Thank you very much again, Andrew.

-Thank you.

-A pleasure.

0:30:420:30:45

Where's the tulips gone? Oh, there they are. Good. And shopping's complete!

0:30:450:30:48

So let's have a little peek at the purchases.

0:30:480:30:51

Including his frame, Raj shelled out £122 on an Art Nouveau brooch,

0:30:510:30:56

a ladies' cloth purse, a butter knife, cheese slice and pickle fork set,

0:30:560:30:59

as you do, and a rare gems book.

0:30:590:31:02

Anita spent £88 on an Albert guard chain,

0:31:050:31:09

an agate pillbox,

0:31:090:31:11

a giant wooden spoon,

0:31:110:31:13

a set of Bakelite napkin rings and a terracotta figure of two sisters,

0:31:130:31:17

one missing a toe.

0:31:170:31:18

I'm wondering if Raj has been influenced by me

0:31:200:31:24

in the things that he's bought,

0:31:240:31:27

because there is definitely a feminine influence there.

0:31:270:31:32

We have that lovely wee brooch,

0:31:320:31:35

silver and enamel is always wonderful.

0:31:350:31:39

The metal pillbox.

0:31:390:31:41

Nice little thing, very collectable, right up Anita's street,

0:31:410:31:45

-could do well.

-But my favourite item

0:31:460:31:49

is that wonderful gems book,

0:31:490:31:53

with those coloured and gilt illustrations.

0:31:530:31:57

That's a valuable little piece of history

0:31:570:32:01

for anyone who's interested in jewellery.

0:32:010:32:05

I think the wooden spoon's going to do really well.

0:32:050:32:07

I think this would cause quite a stir.

0:32:070:32:10

Oh, lordy.

0:32:100:32:12

And whizzing away from Wisbech,

0:32:120:32:14

our experts are now cruising their way through the Norfolk countryside,

0:32:140:32:17

headed for their first auction in Beeston.

0:32:170:32:21

Well, Anita, here we are,

0:32:210:32:23

first auction day, the sun is shining,

0:32:230:32:26

it's a little bit nippy, what do you think's going to happen today?

0:32:260:32:29

A little bit nippy?

0:32:290:32:31

It's freezing!

0:32:310:32:33

I'm sure you must be really warm

0:32:330:32:36

under that absolutely fabulous bonnet.

0:32:360:32:39

Well, as you can tell, the hair isn't doing it.

0:32:390:32:42

It's round one of Bisram versus Manning and it's all to play for.

0:32:430:32:47

I don't like losing, but...

0:32:470:32:49

if I lose to you, I'll be losing to the far better person.

0:32:500:32:54

Let's see if he's just as relaxed when they are three auctions in.

0:32:540:32:59

-Well...

-Here we are.

0:32:590:33:01

Here we are, Anita.

0:33:010:33:03

The first auction.

0:33:030:33:06

Exciting, darling, exciting!

0:33:060:33:09

The family-run Townsend Auction Galleries

0:33:100:33:13

have been open for 20 years.

0:33:130:33:15

Their antiques, fine art and jewellery sale today

0:33:150:33:18

will be led by veteran auctioneer David Palmer.

0:33:180:33:21

My favourite item is the wooden spoon, it's brilliant.

0:33:210:33:24

It has a presence.

0:33:240:33:26

This is a spoon that appeals to this county.

0:33:260:33:29

The 1920s French purse,

0:33:290:33:32

this was created before the French became fashionable and chic.

0:33:320:33:36

It looks to me as though someone has chopped a bit out of an old sofa and

0:33:360:33:39

used that. The terracotta figure group is the bete noire,

0:33:390:33:42

I think, of this group.

0:33:420:33:44

It's just plain bizarre and hideous.

0:33:440:33:48

The Streeter & Co book, this is wonderful.

0:33:480:33:51

I think this is the star lot. It's not just words,

0:33:510:33:54

you have pictures, so it appeals to far more people.

0:33:540:33:57

Interesting thoughts, there.

0:33:580:34:00

Time to see whether the auction-goers of Norfolk agree.

0:34:000:34:03

There's internet bidding here, too. So it could get exciting.

0:34:030:34:07

Here we are, darling.

0:34:070:34:09

The moment of the moments of truth!

0:34:090:34:12

First auction.

0:34:130:34:15

First up is Anita's Albert guard chain.

0:34:150:34:18

A rather nice piece, this.

0:34:180:34:20

Appreciated much in Scotland, I believe these items are.

0:34:210:34:24

Ten, 12, 15, 18, 20.

0:34:240:34:27

22, 25, 28, 30 over here. 30.

0:34:270:34:30

At £30 now. 35, 38, 40.

0:34:300:34:34

40 in the room.

0:34:340:34:36

The room at 40. In the room at 40 now...

0:34:360:34:38

Are you back in? I'll take your two, sir. He'll gives you a kiss!

0:34:380:34:44

-42.

-£2 for a kiss!

0:34:440:34:46

That is that at 42.

0:34:460:34:48

An incredible profit, straight off the blocks.

0:34:520:34:55

-Doubled my money.

-You doubled your money and more.

0:34:550:34:59

No pressure on Raj, then, for his Art Nouveau brooch up next.

0:35:000:35:03

Oh, wonderful lot!

0:35:060:35:08

Wonderful, wonderful lot, this is!

0:35:080:35:10

Tenner for it? Ten for it. Ten, 12, 15.

0:35:100:35:14

At 15... 18, 20 22,

0:35:140:35:17

at 22. 25, 28, 30, 30, 32 over here.

0:35:170:35:22

32, 35.

0:35:220:35:24

Keep it going! 40. 45, 50, 55.

0:35:240:35:29

60, stick with it, go 60.

0:35:290:35:31

60. And five again, 65.

0:35:310:35:34

At 65, here in front at 65.

0:35:340:35:36

70, 75.

0:35:360:35:37

It's in the room at 75, are you back in at 80?

0:35:380:35:41

-80, over there at 80.

-Could be, could be, could be.

0:35:410:35:45

I sell the far end at 80.

0:35:450:35:46

All done at 80.

0:35:460:35:49

-Hooray!

-Thank you!

0:35:490:35:50

Crikey Moses, Raj has almost quadrupled his money

0:35:510:35:54

on his first item!

0:35:540:35:56

£80, that is brilliant.

0:35:570:36:01

Can Raj's butter knife set do just as well?

0:36:030:36:06

A tenner for it? Straight in at 10. Tenner bid, at ten, take two.

0:36:060:36:10

12, 15, 18, 20, 22,

0:36:100:36:13

22, 25,

0:36:130:36:14

28, over there at 28 now.

0:36:140:36:16

30, back at 30.

0:36:160:36:18

32, 32.

0:36:180:36:20

All done at £32.

0:36:200:36:24

It's not a profit after auction costs, sadly.

0:36:260:36:29

-Still a profit.

-You have to be grateful it's a profit.

0:36:310:36:34

Next up is Anita's agate pillbox.

0:36:340:36:37

Ten, 12, 15, 18, over there at 18.

0:36:370:36:40

20, 22, 25, 28, 30.

0:36:400:36:41

They're going, they're going!

0:36:430:36:45

35 here.

0:36:450:36:47

38. 40, 45? 40.

0:36:470:36:51

It's 45, new money at 45.

0:36:510:36:54

50, and again 55?

0:36:540:36:56

-55.

-Wow!

-60. 65?

0:36:560:36:59

At 60, I sell against you at 60.

0:36:590:37:02

-65!

-Yes!

0:37:020:37:05

I sell then at £65.

0:37:070:37:09

-Wow, that is a...

-I'm happy with that!

0:37:120:37:16

I mean, who wouldn't be? Anita's more than doubled her money again.

0:37:160:37:21

Fantastic, fantastic!

0:37:210:37:23

Now we're back for Raj and his silver frame.

0:37:230:37:26

30, and £30 now, take a two.

0:37:270:37:30

32, 35, 38.

0:37:300:37:31

38, and 40.

0:37:310:37:34

40. 45, at 45, stick with it, madam.

0:37:340:37:39

At 45, 50!

0:37:390:37:41

Stick with it, 55? At 55, make him pay, madam!

0:37:420:37:45

At 55, are you in at 60?

0:37:460:37:48

-Don't give in now!

-60!

0:37:480:37:51

65? At 65 now?

0:37:510:37:54

At £65, all gone at 65.

0:37:540:37:57

Raj has more than doubled his money, too.

0:37:590:38:01

What an auction, eh?

0:38:010:38:03

And that was the one that we were worried about.

0:38:030:38:06

Next it's Anita's terracotta figure group.

0:38:060:38:09

Auctioneer David wasn't keen.

0:38:090:38:11

Let's hope the buyers disagree.

0:38:110:38:13

-Fingers crossed.

-Tenner for it?

0:38:130:38:15

Tenner bid, ten, 12. 15, I've got. 18 off you.

0:38:150:38:18

18, over there at 18 now.

0:38:180:38:20

And I sell it at 18, 20.

0:38:200:38:21

At 20. 22 now, at the back at 22.

0:38:210:38:25

Back of the room at 22.

0:38:250:38:29

All done at £22.

0:38:290:38:33

After auction costs, that's a small loss for Anita.

0:38:330:38:36

I'm disappointed.

0:38:370:38:39

I shouldn't be, but I am disappointed.

0:38:390:38:41

-I am, that was worth more!

-Well.

0:38:410:38:45

Let's see if Raj's ladies' purse can do any better.

0:38:450:38:48

Auctioneer David didn't hold out much hope.

0:38:480:38:50

Ten. I've got ten in the room.

0:38:530:38:54

Further bid off the net. At ten, take two, 12.

0:38:540:38:57

15? Are you all together?

0:38:570:38:59

15 with her, then, 18 off you.

0:38:590:39:01

15 the lady. 18, 20.

0:39:010:39:03

22 down here.

0:39:050:39:06

25, 30, lady at 30.

0:39:060:39:09

On the sofa at 30, selling at 30.

0:39:090:39:12

Crikey! Raj is on fire today with his fourth consecutive profit.

0:39:140:39:18

You've trebled your blooming money!

0:39:180:39:20

Let's see if Anita can do the same

0:39:220:39:24

with her rather jazzy Bakelite napkin rings.

0:39:240:39:26

20, 22, 25.

0:39:260:39:29

25? 28, 30,

0:39:290:39:32

30. 32, 35. 35.

0:39:320:39:36

38, 40, 45.

0:39:360:39:38

At 45, one more will get it.

0:39:380:39:41

-Just one more and you'll get it.

-Come on!

0:39:410:39:43

50, there at 50.

0:39:430:39:45

At 50, you sure?

0:39:450:39:47

Standing at the back at 50, no one else?

0:39:470:39:48

Done and finished at 50.

0:39:480:39:50

-Yes!

-That's it, 50. Brilliant, well done.

0:39:510:39:54

Crikey, it could be a close call, this one.

0:39:540:39:58

I've still got my star lot to come!

0:39:580:40:02

It's all down to the two last items,

0:40:020:40:04

the first of which is Anita's giant spoon.

0:40:040:40:07

I can't wait for this!

0:40:070:40:09

Start me at a tenner. Ten, I'm bid.

0:40:090:40:11

At ten, take two, ten, 12.

0:40:110:40:13

At 12 now, 15, 18, 20, 22, 20 over there.

0:40:130:40:17

22? 25.

0:40:170:40:19

28, 30, 32?

0:40:190:40:21

35, 35 here. 38? 38.

0:40:210:40:24

40, 45,

0:40:240:40:27

at 40, the bids are at 40.

0:40:270:40:28

-It's worth more than that!

-This is cheap! At 40.

0:40:280:40:31

Come on, it's worth more than that, look at the size of it!

0:40:310:40:34

45. 42, 45,

0:40:340:40:37

over at 45. Make it 48?

0:40:370:40:39

Go 48, she'll go 50, you know she will.

0:40:390:40:42

46, now 50.

0:40:430:40:45

With the lady at 50.

0:40:450:40:46

I'm selling at 50, I'll take the two again.

0:40:460:40:50

At 50, done at 50.

0:40:500:40:52

That's good, well done.

0:40:560:40:58

Last but not least is Raj's beautiful gems book.

0:40:590:41:02

It's auctioneer David's top pick.

0:41:020:41:04

So can Raj make it five profits in a row?

0:41:040:41:07

20, 25, 30, 35, 40...

0:41:070:41:12

There's more bidders at the back.

0:41:120:41:14

60, 65, 70, 75, 80...

0:41:140:41:18

75, I sell...

0:41:180:41:20

80, 85.

0:41:200:41:23

At 85... 90 over here.

0:41:230:41:25

95?

0:41:250:41:26

At 90. It's in the room at 90.

0:41:260:41:28

Net, where are you now?

0:41:280:41:31

95. 100, room at 100.

0:41:310:41:33

In the room at 100.

0:41:330:41:36

Look at that smile!

0:41:360:41:37

110, 120 room.

0:41:370:41:40

The internet's in as well.

0:41:400:41:42

140. Net?

0:41:420:41:45

Come on, net, 150.

0:41:450:41:48

Sir, don't let the net get it!

0:41:480:41:50

Goes then at 150, all done at £150 on the net.

0:41:500:41:54

leaving her with a lovely £299.78 to spend next time.

0:42:180:42:25

0:43:050:43:07

I wonder if I could maybe put Anita in these?

0:43:070:43:09

..and Anita Manning negotiates hard.

0:43:090:43:12

Could you come down even a wee bit more?
